SAFETY

DRIVE MACHINE SAFELY
•
Before driving the machine, always confirm that the
travel levers/pedals direction corresponds to the
direction you wish to drive.
•
Be sure to detour around any obstructions.
•
Avoid traveling over obstructions. Soil, fragments
of rocks, and/or metal pieces may scatter around
the machine. Don’t allow personnel to stay
around the machine while traveling.
•
Driving on a slope may cause the machine to slip or
overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or
death.
•
When driving up or down a slope, keep the
bucket facing the direction of travel, approxi-
mately 200 to 300 mm (A) above the ground.
•
If the machine starts to skid or becomes unstable,
immediately lower the bucket to the ground and
stop traveling.
•
Driving across the face of a slope or steering on
a slope may cause the machine to skid or turn-
over. If the direction must be changed, move the
machine to level ground, then, change the direc-
tion to ensure sage operation.
